    Hm, this one is kind of... complicated, but oh well... Here we go.

    Note: "The Running Roads" is the English title to the song, but the original Greek one ("I asfaltos pou trehi") actually means "The Asphalt Rushing By".

    Ap' to parathiro kito tin asfalto pou trehi
    Ke to idolo mou anisiho voltari ston kathrefti
    Petieme apano, mia stigmi, na elengxo stin taratsa
    Mi piasan ton Aldebaran, min klepsane ta astra

    Egine o kosmos pende orgies ke mena de mou ftani
    Kani i psihi mou dyo strofes ke fevgi n'anasani

    San kapios na mou milage, san na paramilouse
    To ema mou opos kilage, glika mou tragoudouse
    Ginekes tis anatropis, kardia ke fantasia
    Mi sas kourasi o keros, mi sas gerasi i ania

    Egine o kosmos pende orgies ke mena de mou ftani
    Kani i psihi mou dyo strofes ke fevgi n'anasani

    ***

    I watch through the window the asphalt rushing by
    And my restless reflection strolls in the mirror
    I run upstairs, just a second, to check on the terrace
    Whether they have not caught Aldebaran
    Whether they have not stolen the stars

    The world's reduced to five fathoms, and that's not enough for me
    My soul turns round twice and goes out to breath

    As if someone was speaking to me, wandering
    As my blood was surging, it sweetly sang to me
    Women of rebellion, heart and fantasy
    Do not let time wear you out
    Do not let boredom make you old

    The world's reduced to five fathoms, and that's not enough for me
    My soul turns round twice and goes out to breath
    It's funnier in Enochian
